I Will Survive

I talked my way through troubles I spoke the word of truth I screamed through the valley of hope and I will survive I walked through the shadows of fear I swam through the belly of the beast I ran the streets of New York City and I will survive I felt the pain of stress I touched my empty stomach some nights I feel the pressure of life I try to kepp my kids safe and still I will survive

Life throws many obstacles in our paths, but you seem to have mastered the way to come out on top. And in putting your children first, you also have good priorities. You have my admiration for your tenacity, Faleshia. Well written poem. Love, Carolyn
